Secondly, the 4th house lord in the 10th house is giving a direct aspect upon its own house, the 4th house. According to Vedic astrology, this protects its own house, the 4th house, and brings strong results into the 10th house topics after initial discomfort.

Virtuous Duty Conveys Delight

Peace of mind is one of the majorly recognized topics of the 4th house making its ruler useful in determining how it is achieved and maintained for various personalities.

With the given combination, it is possible to directly interpret that a real sense of contentment is achieved via career, profession, duty, responsibilities, and good actions as the 10th house signify.

When a person fulfills their duties, they feel a sense of relief in their mind that they have contributed to society successfully. With each fulfilled responsibility, no matter if it is done via small or huge actions, one feels as if they take care of large amounts of people. And we all know that giving is the ultimate form of receiving.

As the 4th house is an auspicious house of virtue, its effect on the 10th house of action is very positive indicating that one is especially eager to do work persistently and piously leading to wonderful outcomes (by God).

The first part of receiving is the peace of mind that makes us feel content and proceed to live a pious life that is fortified with righteous action that benefits everyone around us.

All people have the capacity to increase their contribution to social welfare via career or the public sector. However, we know that there are people rising in different periods and they all have some differences.

Speaking of which, individuals with this combination shine brightly during the significant planetary periods of the 4th house ruler in the 10th house (main period, sub-period, transit return).

Shining brightly in this context is meant that their virtues, such as compassion and a natural tendency to contribute to social well-being make them well known. Selfless devotion and service truly attract sincere and long-lasting supporters. Not only that, but it also attracts the protection and love of God making them victorious over all wicked and envious opponents, of which there are many as one progresses.

When looking at the 10th Vedic house, adding selflessness to it lands us in the 9th house. More specifically, the 12th (selflessness, indifference, detachment from desires) from the 10th house is the 9th house of religion, righteousness, luck, and fortune. On the other hand, if adding selfish desires, or 11th to the 10th, we arrive at the 8th house of calamity and possibly sudden fall of position/defamation.

What is beautiful about all of the selflessness, is the fact that detaching from selfish desires does not actually deprive us of our rewards. When we arrive at the 10th house or increased social status, and we add selflessness, we arrive at the 9th house. The 9th house is the hidden powerhouse of the 11th house (11th from 11th is the 9th) which means that the very moment we detach from selfishness, we get both fortunes and protection of God.

Soon after persisting in this righteous path, we arrive at the 11th house of fulfillment of all desires. The 11th is the powerhouse of the last 12th house of salvation, which is the attainment of the delight of God, the ultimate success. So it is one little act of selflessness that grants us a quantum leap forward.

God’s Messenger [PBUH] said, “Do not wish to be like anyone, except in two cases: (1) A man whom God has given wealth (and status) and he spends it righteously (to benefit all). (2) A man whom God has given wisdom (beneficial religious knowledge) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 7141

Therefore, according to higher wisdom and also religious wisdom, it is always important to consider increased status as increased responsibility which is achievable and proven by steadfast selfless devotion to the good of all in the name of God Almighty.

And for those who aim very high or make Hereafter (salvation) their goal, God will take care of all of their worldly affairs and organizes them for their highest favor enabling them to prosper miraculously (Sunnah of The Last Prophet [PBUH]).

Moreover, the 10th house signifies consistency in action which reflects their continuous and steadfast virtuous actions which grant them greater social status along with social responsibility. That is because the planet of action Mars stands exalted and gains maximum directional strength in this house of Capricorn (10th sign). This responsibility is a blessing for sincere people because it grants them the possibility to expand the reach of their righteous actions.

This is why it is important and auspicious to integrate virtuous principles with duty and social status. Not only it helps to prosper in society and public affairs/career, but it also attracts the delight of God which is the greatest possible achievement in this world. In fact, salvation, which is also signified by the last 12th house beside the 4th house, also belongs to Moksha Trikona. It means that the goal of each and every soul (1st) is to attain salvation or reunite with God in the Hereafter.

One of the best examples in perspective of dutifulness comes from Aries Ascendant, whose 4th house ruler Moon is in the 10th house Capricorn.

However, they must guard themselves against submitting to immoral tendencies regarding love matters for it surely causes a loss of earnings.

One of the best examples comes from Sagittarius Ascendant, whose 4th house ruler Jupiter is in 10th house Virgo.
